As I'm sure most of you have seen on the homepage, the second annual SML Entertainment Open is being played here in Calgary at the olympic oval. The field is even stronger than last years with players like Archer, Pagulayan, Davenport, and Dennis Orcullo just to name a few.
In case you haven't seen the brackets, here's the link: http://www.azbilliards.com/2006smlopen/brackets.cfm
The story of the tournament so far has to be the play of young Jason Klatt from Manitoba, he's made the last four on the winners side and will face his biggest test yet when he matches up with defending champion Alex Pagulayan. The other winners side match will be Luc Salvas vs Johnny Archer, from watching his matches Salvas is simply on fire, he defeated Dennis Orcullo late last night to bump him to the one loss side. This should be a great match with their contrasting styles, Luc has had Johnny's number in some of their more recent meetings so you know Johnny will be ready for battle.
My prediction, Pagulayan for a repeat win, but I wouldn't be surprised to see anyone else left take it down.
